The Arena of Life and Death was a place where the outer disciples of Yufeng Pavilion dueled. Just like its name, even if one of the disciples was killed, Yufeng Pavilion wouldn't pursue the responsibility of the outer disciple. So if there wasn't a deep hatred between the two, no one would come here to duel.
There were more than a thousand disciples gathered outside the Arena of Life and Death. They were there for no other reason than to watch a good show. That was because an all-powerful figure from the outer pavilion, one of the legendary Four Heavenly Kings, was about to fight a disciple from the outer pavilion.
It wasn't just the outer disciples. Even quite a few elders had come. However, due to their status as elders, most of them hid in the shadows to watch.
"Hey! That kid really is unlucky. He's only been in the sect for a few days and he's already provoked Zhao Wang. It looks to me like he's going to die a horrible death. "One of the disciples in the crowd laughed mockingly as if he was watching a good show.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that kid killed a late third class Magical Beast in the Cultivation Pavilion. Even Zhao Wang might not be able to do that, right?" Another disciple retorted.
Let's not talk about the spectators outside the arena. At this moment, a middle-aged man stood in the middle of the Life and Death Arena. Although the man wasn't very tall, his fierce-looking face alone gave off an unpleasant feeling.
This was the person who had challenged Xing Jue, Zhao Wang. He was one of the strongest Four Heavenly Kings of Yufeng Pavilion, and was also a novice Martial Master.
"As I expected, Zhao Wang really did challenge that kid!"
"But I heard yesterday. That kid killed a late third class Magical Beast! "
"No matter what, we'll have one less powerful opponent today. That's beneficial for us!"
On a big tree far away from the Life and Death Arena stood two similar-looking youths. These two were the overlords of the outer pavilion. They were the other two of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Tian brothers. They were experts who had also reached the beginner stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm.
"Look, it's the Tian brothers!" A sharp-eyed disciple noticed the Tian brothers on the tree and whispered to the person beside him.
"Even they've come. If that's the case, then of the Four Heavenly Kings of the outer pavilion, only Bai Yunfei hasn't come."
"Do you think Bai Yunfei will come?"
"I don't think so. Bai Yunfei is a training maniac. I heard one of the elders say that Bai Yunfei is the most likely candidate to become the top scholar in the cabinet."
"No way, which elder do you know? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? "asked the disciple.
"You … Is it any of your business?" That disciple replied guiltily.
As time passed, the cool and refreshing morning was quickly replaced by a sunny noon. At this time, it was already time for the battle between Zhao Wang and Xing Jue. During this half a day, Zhao Wang had been standing there like a God of War without moving at all.
However, Xing Jue had not appeared, which caused many disciples to discuss it. Some people even suspected that Xing Jue had a guilty conscience and did not dare to come. However, some disciples retorted that Xing Jue would definitely come.
However, just as the crowd was making guesses, a handsome young man slowly walked onto the Life and Death Stage under the crowd's complicated gazes. This was the execution.
"You're Xing Jue? I thought you didn't have the guts to come. "Seeing Xing Jue walk onto the stage, Zhao Wang sized up Xing Jue and said coldly.
"You broke my friend's leg. How can I not come and settle this debt with you?" Xing Jue casually glanced at Zhao Wang and said coldly.
"What a joke. If you want to break my leg, we'll have to see if you have the ability to do so." Zhao Wang did not waste any more words. His body moved and he rushed towards Xing Jue. Xing Jue did not sit still and wait for death. His body also moved and he rushed towards Zhao Wang.
The two of them clashed. Zhao Wang's leg whipped towards Xing Jue's head with a sharp sound of the wind.
"Hmph." Xing Jue only snorted coldly. He raised his right arm and blocked Zhao Wang's leg whip. At the same time, his left leg suddenly shot out. With a beautiful kick, he fiercely kicked towards Zhao Wang's lower abdomen.
Bang. With a muffled sound, Zhao Wang did not dodge Xing Jue's attack. Instead, he was kicked more than ten meters away by Xing Jue before he stabilized his body.
What a joke. Xing Jue was the best at close combat. Zhao Wang actually dared to attack Xing Jue at close range. He was simply looking for death.
"Good!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly. Waves of applause sounded continuously. Actually, it was the four-eyes and the others who were cheering. However, because Zhao Wang and the others usually did many evil things, it had already caused a lot of people to be dissatisfied. The four-eyes' shout just happened to lead the way. After that, it caused the crowd to cheer enthusiastically.
And these cheers caused Zhao Wang's face to turn extremely ugly. Originally, Zhao Wang was good at close combat. He did not expect that this seemingly weak boy in front of him was actually stronger than him. Naturally, Zhao Wang's face was filled with unwillingness to be at a disadvantage in his area of expertise.
"Hmph, I don't believe it!" Zhao Wang snorted coldly. Then, he dashed towards Ling Han again. But this time, his speed was even faster than before. However, just as he was about to dash in front of Xing Jue, Zhao Wang's body suddenly lowered and actually fell down. At the same time, he waved his right leg and whipped towards Xing Jue's left leg. It turned out that he wanted to attack Xing Jue's lower body.
Facing Zhao Wang's whipping leg, Xing Jue did not move at all. He let it sweep towards him. However, his lower body did not move, but his upper body waved. Suddenly, Xing Jue raised his right fist, aimed at Zhao Wang's head, and smashed it down fiercely.
"Bang!" Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound that sounded like steel colliding, Zhao Wang's whipping leg successfully swept towards Xing Jue's leg. However, what shocked Zhao Wang was that Xing Jue's leg did not even move. This whipping leg was equivalent to a sweep for nothing. But just as Zhao Wang was feeling depressed, Xing Jue's heavy punch had already arrived.
"Pfft!" This heavy punch, as expected, hit Zhao Wang's face. Because Zhao Wang's body was in a half-inverted position, and because he received this heavy punch from Xing Jue in this position, his body instantly lost balance. He actually rolled on the Life and Death Ring, and he only stopped after spinning beautifully for a few rounds.
"Good hit!" Instantly, thunderous cheers erupted from below the ring. There were even people who let out ear-piercing laughter. Who knew which brother could actually laugh in such a wretched manner. This was practically driving Zhao Wang crazy.
As for Xing Jue, he shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "This is too unchallenging."
"You're courting death!" Looking at Xing Jue's calm expression, the anger in Zhao Wang's heart was finally completely ignited. He suddenly clenched his right hand, and a large amount of golden gas rapidly gathered in his right hand. As the golden gas continuously surged into his right hand, Zhao Wang's right hand began to emit a bright light.
"Wow, Zhao Wang is using his ultimate move!" Just at this moment, someone below the ring shouted loudly.
"Damn, isn't this my Devouring Wind Palm?" Looking at the bright light in Zhao Wang's right hand, Xing Jue immediately recognized it. That was the Devouring Wind Palm that he was most proficient in. He had not thought that this brat would also know it.
But thinking about it more deeply, it was not so unbelievable. That was because Xing Jue's Devouring Wind Palm was originally a martial arts technique of Yufeng Pavilion. As one of the strongest in the outer pavilion, it was not strange that Zhao Wang knew the Devouring Wind Palm.
"This brat's close combat is indeed not bad. But Zhao Wang's Devouring Wind Palm is a long-range martial arts technique. I'd like to see how this brat handles it!" The Tian brothers on the tree said as if they were watching a good show.
"Devouring Wind Palm!" Zhao Wang's bright right hand suddenly slapped towards Xing Jue. Rays of brilliant palm prints shot towards Xing Jue at an extremely fast speed.
Facing the Devouring Wind Palm that shot towards him, Xing Jue's body only moved and he suddenly leapt to the left, easily dodging the Devouring Wind Palm. All that was left was a half meter deep palm print that had sunk into the stone platform and the cracks around it.
Seeing that his palm had missed, Zhao Wang did not stop. Instead, he used the Devouring Wind Palm once again. And this time, just like last time, it was easily dodged by Xing Jue.
"Devouring Wind Palm, Devouring Wind Palm, Devouring Wind Palm!" Once again missing, Zhao Wang flew into a rage. One strike, two strikes, three strikes. Three consecutive Devouring Wind Palms shot towards Xing Jue. But as expected, all of them were easily dodged by Xing Jue.
Xing Jue could not be any more familiar with the characteristics of the Devouring Wind Palm. Although the Devouring Wind Palm was extremely powerful, it did not have a wide range. So as long as one had enough speed, it was still very easy to dodge this move. This was especially so for people like Zhao Wang who did not dare to fight against Xing Jue. He purposely maintained a very long distance, making it even easier for Xing Jue to dodge.
"Dammit, are you a monkey? You only know how to run back and forth." Zhao Wang finally could not hold back the anger in his heart and suddenly cursed.
"That's right. What's the point of dodging here and there?" Below the stage, a large number of boos sounded. These were naturally Zhao Wang's subordinates. It must be known that Zhao Wang had mingled in the Yufeng Pavilion for so many years. That was not for nothing. He had many subordinates under him.
"Ah, alright. Look at your pitiful appearance. I won't dodge anymore." Xing Jue helplessly shook his head and immediately said. On his delicate and handsome face, a smile that seemed as if he had succeeded in his scheme appeared.
"Devouring Wind Palm." Zhao Wang was also very straightforward. With a wave of his right hand, a Devouring Wind Palm fiercely struck towards Xing Jue.
Seeing that Xing Jue, as expected, did not make any movements to dodge, a cold smile appeared on Zhao Wang's face. He understood the power of this Devouring Wind Palm very well. There were practically very few martial skills that were a match for the Devouring Wind Palm. Therefore, he was certain that Xing Jue would definitely lose. However, in the next second, when Xing Jue displayed his martial skill, Zhao Wang's confidence completely disappeared.
"Devouring Wind Palm." Just as Zhao Wang's Devouring Wind Palm was about to hit Xing Jue, Xing Jue suddenly raised his right arm. His right hand, which was already emitting a resplendent light, directly received Zhao Wang's Devouring Wind Palm.
"Bang!" "Sizzle sizzle sizzle." The two Devouring Wind Palms, which contained a frightening attacking strength, collided with each other. First, it emitted a thunder-like sound. Soon after, it stirred numerous sparks … circular energy ripples also began to spread from the point where they intersected.
"Break!" Xing Jue roared. His right arm shook and a large amount of Martial Qi began to unceasingly pour into his right arm. Originally at a disadvantage, Xing Jue quickly pushed the energy halo, which was less than two meters away from him, towards Zhao Wang.
Seeing the energy halo rushing towards him, Zhao Wang also quickly poured Martial Qi into his right arm. However, because he had just used the Devouring Wind Palm, he had used up too much Martial Qi.
The Martial Qi that he could pour in right now, compared to Xing Jue, was like the difference between a small river and an ocean. It was completely useless. He could only watch as the energy ripples that contained a frightening power rushed towards him. This was the reason why Xing Jue had been dodging since the beginning. It was to waste Zhao Wang's Martial Qi.
"Bang!"
"Ahhhh … My hand!" Following a loud sound, Zhao Wang was ruthlessly hit. His right hand was instantly blown to pieces, just like the Tenryū Commander from before. It was a tragic sight.
However, not a single person in the entire Life and Death Arena looked at him with pity, not even the elders.
"Ah, you can't blame me for this. You told me not to dodge." Xing Jue shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly. He did not even look at Zhao Wang as he walked off the Life and Death Arena amidst the thunderous cheers of the four eyes and the others.
"Looks like from today onwards, the Four Great Kings of the Outer Pavilion will be replaced."
"However, this brat seems to be much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Wang."
Watching Xing Jue's group gradually leave, the Tian brothers said uneasily.
